How to Update and Dress Up Your Favorite White Jeans for Winter Parties

Hopefully you're already flouting that outdated "no white after Labor Day" rule. There are so many gorgeous pearly winter pieces out there (considering the the coat, maybe?), and it's the perfect opportunity to keep wearing your favorite white jeans from the past season. Karolina Kurkova already showed us how to do it the casual-cool, weekend way; now let's look to Nicole Richie for the dressed-up version.

Nicole hit the ultra-sophisticated Chloé fashion show and dinner in Los Angeles yesterday looking white-hot in a dressy-cool monochrome outfit. She elevated—and winterized—a pair of summery jeans with a matching silky cream top layered under a tuxedo blazer. She kept the all-white motif going with her pumps (another warm-weather favorite) but brought in a little seasonal contrast with a gray belt and a denim-blue and metallic clutch. It's unexpectedly and effortlessly cool, plus 100 percent elegant. So don't store those white jeans yet!
